Pont du Change, Medieval bridge across Saône River in Lyon, France
The Pont du Change consisted of eight stone arches spanning the Saône River, connecting Presqu'île district to Old Lyon district.
Built in 1070 as the first bridge in Lyon, it remained the only crossing point over the Saône until 1643, using stones from Roman ruins.
The bridge transformed into a commercial center with three-story houses occupied by goldsmiths and merchants built directly on its structure.
The bridge suffered major damage during the 1840 flood, leading to its demolition in 1842 and replacement by a new structure.
The Arche Merveilleuse, one of its arches, served as a passage point for decorated boats during the Festival of Marvels water procession.
